Give in Their Honor.
Some people leave a mark on the world that words alone can't capture. A memorial or tribute gift to PNOC Foundation lets you honor who they were — and what they stood for — by funding the pediatric brain cancer research that gives other families more time and hope.
*After you complete the donation process you will be prompted to dedicate your donation in honor of, or in memory of someone. You can add an emailed message to be delivered to whoever you want to receive notification of the dedication.
Memorial and tribute gifts are 100% tax-deductible.
PNOC Foundation is a 4-star Charity Navigator organization and holds a Candid Platinum Seal of Transparency. Need help setting up a personalized memorial page or tribute fund? Contact our Director of Development, Adam Eversole, at adam@pnocfoundation.org.
What Are Memorial & Tribute Gifts?
A memorial gift is a donation made in honor of someone who has passed away. A tribute gift celebrates someone living — for a birthday, an anniversary, a milestone, or simply because they matter to you. Both types of gifts direct your support to PNOC Foundation's work funding pediatric brain cancer clinical trials and research. When you give, we can create a personalized page in your loved one's name, so others can contribute and share in honoring them.
